PLANNING - Flatplan for Ancillary Products

Flatplan for Digipak and Magazine Cover

Digipak flatplan

The image above is the flatplan for the digipak. I chose a six panel plan as it would let me be able to express all of what I want to. I decided to keep the theme of the green screen idea as it gave the band a sense of brand identity. I am going to include this light theme on the front cover, inside cover, back cover , left cover and on the disc itself. I chose to use the same talent for the album cover as, again, it gives the band a sense of identity as the hair becomes a key image. I decided to name the band 'The Habits' as there would be trademark issues if I used 'Sundara Karma' who are the original band. 'The Habits' came about as I was inspired by the band 'The Last Shadow Puppets' in particular the song 'Bad Habits'. They are the same genre of music and so this fits. The album title came from the idea of revealing a secret, in this case the secret being the album itself as it will include one single.

Magazine Advert Flatplan One

Magazine Advert Flatplan Two

Both the above images are flatplans for the magazine advert. I am not sure whether to use the band in the advert with the name of the band and the album title or to use a photo of the sun as this is conventional for indie bands. The sun is not conventional but not using the band on the advert is as often they prefer to take the attention away from themselves and let them focus on the music and how the music they play is art.
